Rowland Constantine Shield – Victory
Congratulations are extended to the Preparatory School General Knowledge team which successfully retained the Rowland Constantine Shield in Friday's IAPS District 2 General Knowledge Final. The team was in striking distance of the lead throughout, scoring especially well in the team rounds on airline logos, holy books, literary first lines and heroes and heroines, as well as showcasing impressive recall in the individual rounds. However, the team's knowledge of castles proved decisive as it snuck home in the final round to head the scores of Bickley Park, Hilden Grange, New Beacon and Wellesley House, winning by two points to defend the title. Well done!
Ypres Battlefields Visit
Year 8 pupils returned to the First World War Battlefields of Ypres on Friday resuming a tradition that began nearly 25 years ago.
Soloist Musical Concert
A highlight of the Prep School musical calendar is the Soloists' Concert and this year's was a real treat for Staff, Governors and Parents. Ten pupils from Years 6 to 8 gave immaculate performances with a programme ranging from Tchaikovsky to Toy Story 2, by way of Frank Bridge and Kurt Weill. The countless hours of practice each pupil had clearly put into their performances paid off as singers managed to remember all their words and instrumentalists showed polish and flair in their playing.
History trip to Canterbury Cathedral
Our Year 6 pupils took on the medieval pilgrimage from Rochester to Canterbury Cathedral this week. The pilgrims witnessed the murder of Thomas Becket and spent time creating pilgrim tokens and trying medieval activities. We are most fortunate to be able to celebrate Kent's rich history and visit two of the oldest cathedrals in Britain at our doorstep.
